Venezuela has accused the United States of a “colonialist threat” following comments made by former President Donald Trump, who urged airlines to avoid Venezuelan airspace. Venezuelan officials described Trump"s remarks as an “illegal and unjustified aggression” against the country"s sovereignty.

This accusation comes amid heightened tensions between the two nations, with Venezuela asserting that such actions undermine its territorial integrity. The situation has prompted discussions about the implications for international air travel and relations.

For further context on the impact of Trump"s warning, hundreds of flights are reportedly rerouting as a result of the directive. The ongoing diplomatic strain reflects a broader pattern of conflict between the U.S. and Venezuela.

As previously reported, Trump"s administration has taken a hardline stance on Venezuela, which has led to various international responses and actions. The situation continues to evolve as both nations navigate their complex relationship.
